Digital health technology adoption refers to the increasing use of technology to provide healthcare services remotely. This can include virtual consultations with healthcare providers, remote monitoring of patients' health, and using mobile apps to manage chronic conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth as many people turned to virtual healthcare services to avoid exposure to the virus.
